they're opposing this one because president obama put it into law. last year this time they cut what i thought was a terrible deal. it cut taxes for rich guys like fleischer for two years but working people one. why? republicans wouldn't agree to two-year tax cut for the middle class because they don't want to stimulate the middle class, they don't want to help the middle class and the economy in an election year. why else cut taxes for rich people for two years and working people for one? the only strategy here is to tank the economy. >> ari, i know you've got something. >> he wanted a one-year tax cut. he told us it was a one-time deal, one-time tax holiday it would be good for the economy, which it wasn't. now he's changed his language and said it's all about fairness. that's the other factor of this. >> guys -- >> now we're into this debate every two months. >> i western we had more time. obviously, strong opinions on this. we'll stay on top of it at least until the end of the year. >>> next on "360," a massive deadly winter form hammering parts
